I've hosted Thanksgiving for about the past 25 years, parents, brother, various other random relatives on a rotating basis... decided this year to stop, just wanted to kick back with my daughter & her fiance who arrived yesterday in advance of their wedding this weekend. So rather than turkey & all the usual stuff, we went full dego, homemade fettuccine with basil tomato, sfincione, & for a twist Kimberly brought over some kielbasa with sauerkraut & potatoes.
fresh pasta dough getting ready
caciocavallo to be diced for the sfincione
made the pizza dough around 6am, this is around noon after it finished its first rise in the bowl & about 2 hours in the pan, almost ready to go
the pizza topping, equal parts breadcrumbs & locatelli along with two tablespoons of anchovie oil & two of plain olive oil
all mixed together
the caciocavallo & anchovie pieces on the dough
next the caramelized onions
next the plain tomato sauce, this was Sardinian tomatoes, worth the extra expense:
on with the topping & into the oven at 425 for about 25 minutes
meanwhile the basil tomato sauce for the pasta cooking
sfincione out of the oven
few minutes in boiling water & the fresh pasta was done
topped off with a blueberry pie & an apple pie, I'm stuffed, but not as bad as it usually is on this day. We're all happy & looking forward to the big day upcoming.
Hope you all are have a great day as well, happy Thanksgiving to all!
